Inside, outside, or both

Pick what your windows need.

Outside glass takes the Wellington salt and weather, so it's usually the side that needs it most, while inside detailing keeps the view sharp. Most homes book both and save 5%, but you can book just one if that's all you need.

Interior only

For inside-only jobs: clean glass on the room side, frames and sills wiped, accessible tracks wiped where in scope.

  • Inside glass cleaned and detailed
  • Interior frames and sills wiped
  • Accessible tracks wiped where in scope

Window cleaning method

The right method for every window.

Outside glass gets a pure water exterior system. Inside glass gets traditional detailing. Frames, sills and tracks get wiped. Access and equipment are chosen for the home, not whatever's in the van.

Pure water exterior system. Outside glass is cleaned with deionised water through a fed-pole, designed to dry without detergent residue and streak-free when conditions and the glass allow. Reaches windows ladders can't safely.

Traditional detailing inside. Inside glass is hand-detailed with squeegee and microfibre, the best finish for indoor light and close inspection.

Frames, sills and tracks. Window frames and sills are wiped as standard. Accessible tracks are wiped or vacuumed where included in your scope. Heavy build-up, mould, paint or construction dust in tracks may need extra time or a quote. Ranch sliders and glass doors included.

Safe access and the right gear. The team brings poles, squeegees, microfibre cloths, and ladders where appropriate. We don't put cleaners on roofs or anywhere unsafe.

Final check before sign-off. Before the team leaves, glass is checked for streaks, residue and missed edges. Anything off gets re-done on the spot.

What's included

What's included in a window clean.

From a villa's timber sashes to the big picture windows and ranch sliders in a modern Wellington build, a standard clean covers the glass, frames, sills and tracks where in scope. Every job is checked against that scope before sign-off.

Interior glass cleaned and detailed: hand-finished with squeegee and microfibre for a streak-free indoor result.
Exterior glass via pure water: deionised water through a fed-pole reaches high glass and is designed to dry without detergent residue.
Frames and sills wiped: both interior and exterior frames and sills cleaned, dust and grime lifted.
Accessible tracks wiped: window tracks vacuumed and wiped of debris where included in scope. Heavy build-up, mould, paint or construction dust may need extra time or a quote.
Ranch sliders and glass doors: included as standard with most home window cleans, both sides where access allows.
High-access windows: handled with the pure water system where safe. Anything outside safe scope gets quoted before the day.
Final check before completion: glass, edges, frames and tracks reviewed before the team leaves.
Locally trained teams: every Spruce cleaner is signed off in our system before working on customer homes.
Pricing

Window cleaning prices.

Pricing is fixed by the number of bedrooms, with two-storey and pole-access glass accounted for. Book inside, outside or both, and booking both saves 5%. Coastal homes tend to book more often, since the salt always comes back.

How window cleaning works

How your window clean works.

Booking a window clean is quick. Pick the scope, tell us about the site, the narrow street parking, the steep drive or shared apartment entry, the team arrives with the right gear, and we check the glass before sign-off.

  1. Step 01

    Choose inside, outside, or both

    Decide what your windows actually need. Book both and we take 5% off the combined price.

  2. Step 02

    Tell us the home size & access

    Bedrooms, parking, any balconies, balustrades or hard-to-reach glass. We use this to send the right equipment.

  3. Step 03

    We arrive with the right gear

    Pure water poles for outside, squeegees and microfibre for inside, ladders only where safe. Trained local team.

  4. Step 04

    We check before sign-off

    Glass, edges, frames and tracks reviewed against what you booked. Anything off gets fixed before the team leaves.

Across Wellington

Window cleaning across Wellington.

Wellington glass earns its keep, catching harbour light one day and a salt-laden southerly the next, and our trained local teams keep all of it clear. We work the central city and Te Aro, the western hills through Kelburn, Karori and Brooklyn, the southern and eastern bays, and the northern suburbs up the line. Pop in your address at booking and it confirms in seconds whether you're in range.

Areas we clean across Wellington

In Wellington the weather decides how often glass needs doing, and it changes street by street. Down the exposed south coast through Island Bay and Houghton Bay, and around the eastern bays out to Kilbirnie and Miramar, the southerly drives salt straight onto exterior glass, so it films back over faster than anywhere sheltered. Up the western hills in Kelburn, Karori and Brooklyn, older villas and character townhouses carry high timber sashes on steep sites that a ladder can't reach safely, which is exactly the job the pure-water pole is built for. And through Te Aro, Mount Victoria, Thorndon and the waterfront apartments, big picture windows and character bays hold the light that makes those rooms, if the glass is clear. Damp is the other constant here: the humidity that fogs bathroom windows and settles in timber frames means the sills and tracks matter as much as the panes, and we clean all of it to the same finish.

Common window jobs

The window jobs we see most often.

These are the window jobs we see most across Wellington: salt film off the glass in the southern and eastern bays, hillside villa exteriors reached by pole, pre-sale and post-build cleanups, and the big harbour-view windows worth keeping clear. Pick whichever fits.

Regular home window cleaning

Inside and outside glass on a six-monthly schedule, the pattern most homes settle into.

Move-out window cleaning

Windows as part of a move-out. Usually booked as an add-on to an End of Tenancy clean, but available on its own.

Spring & one-off detailed cleans

A reset clean: frames, sills and tracks given more attention than a regular service. Often booked with deep cleaning.

Post-renovation / builder's dust

Paint splatter, silicone, plaster, adhesive residue or builders' dust on new and renovated glass. Common work after a build or renovation.

Ranch sliders & glass doors

Full-height sliding glass and stacker doors, both sides, including the tracks and lower runners.

Balcony glass & balustrades

Glass balustrades and balcony panels, cleaned both sides where safe access allows. Quoted where it doesn't.

100 % Guarantee
Something not right? We come back.

If something included in your booked window clean isn't right, tell us within 48 hours and we'll come back to fix it, no charge. The guarantee covers what's in your booking, so if you booked inside only, the outside isn't part of it.

FAQ

Window cleaning FAQs.

The things Wellington customers ask us most about window cleaning.

Yes. Book inside only, outside only, or both. In Wellington the outside cops the southerly and the salt, so it's the side most homes prioritise, but most book both anyway, which takes 5% off the combined price.
Yes, with the pure water fed-pole system. Wellington's hill villas in Kelburn, Thorndon and Mount Victoria are full of high sashes on steep, tiered sections, and the pole reaches most of that glass safely from the ground, no ladders leant against the house and no one on the roof. If a window on a really steep site is genuinely beyond safe reach, we'll flag it before the day and quote it properly.
It depends on your street. Homes near the water, whether that's Island Bay to the south or the run of eastern bays out past Miramar, catch salt off the sea air, and that returns to the outside glass sooner than an inland, sheltered street would. The bush-backed hill suburbs like Karori and Khandallah collect tree sap, pollen and shaded-side grime instead, and the city's humidity leaves a haze on shaded and south-facing panes that clears once we clean the glass. Wherever you are we clean it to the same finish, and homes in the exposed spots tend to book exterior cleans a bit more often to stay on top of it.
Frames and sills are wiped as standard, and accessible tracks are wiped or vacuumed where they're in your booked scope. In Wellington that matters more than most places: the damp breeds mould in bathroom frames and the timber sills of older villas, and the tracks on ranch sliders catch a lot. Heavy build-up, established mould, paint or construction dust in tracks can need extra time or a quote, so tell us at booking and we'll let you know.
Yes, with the pure water fed-pole system. It reaches most second-storey residential glass safely, which suits Wellington's tall hillside homes and split-level builds up in the likes of Karori and Khandallah, no ladders against the house. If a window on a really steep or awkward site is beyond safe reach for our gear, we'll tell you before the day so it can be quoted properly.
Yes, on the exterior. Pure (deionised) water through a fed-pole dries without detergent residue and streak-free when conditions and the glass allow, and it's safer and more thorough than ladders for the high glass on Wellington's hill homes. Inside glass is hand-detailed with squeegee and microfibre, which gives the best finish in the harbour light that pours through those front rooms.
No. For exterior-only cleans you don't need to be home at all. For interior or both, tell us at booking how the team gets in, key, lockbox or entry code, and for a Te Aro or waterfront apartment any building fob or intercom, and we'll handle it.
Light rain usually isn't a problem for the pure water exterior system, the glass still dries clean. A strong southerly is more likely to stop us: when the wind makes working the pole on exposed or high sites unsafe, we'll reschedule as soon as we can.
Yes. Window cleaning can be added to a house clean, deep clean or end-of-tenancy booking, which is how a lot of Wellington flats and family homes handle it in one visit. Add it when you book and it shows on the same job for the team.
We can handle most builder's dust and light paint overspray on glass, common work after the villa do-ups and townhouse builds happening right across Wellington, but post-renovation jobs vary a lot. Send a few photos first: silicone, hard-water staining, heavy adhesive residue or thick paint flecks can need specialist handling, and we won't scrape glass where it risks scratching without the right assessment. We'll tell you whether the job fits a standard booking or needs an onsite quote.
Pricing is fixed by the number of bedrooms (see the table above), and booking both inside and outside saves 5%. It's the same fixed price whether you're in a Newtown flat or a Khandallah family home; anything non-standard, large glazing, difficult hillside access, post-build clean-up, is quoted before the day so there are no surprises.
Log into your Spruce account to change the date, cancel, or add and remove services any time, handy when a Wellington southerly rolls in and you'd rather move the exterior clean. We ask for at least 24 hours' notice for changes or cancellations, otherwise a fee may apply.
All of it. Spruce cleans windows right across the city, from waterfront and Te Aro apartments to the character villas and townhouses of Thorndon, Mount Victoria and Kelburn, west over the hill through Brooklyn and Karori, down the south coast to Newtown and Island Bay, round the eastern bays through Kilbirnie and Miramar, and north to Khandallah and Johnsonville, plus Porirua and the Hutt. Inside, outside or both, with ranch sliders, high hillside glass and tracks included. If it's in Wellington, we'll get a trained local window cleaner to it.
